Change in Document Submission Fee
The date selected (on the application form) by the applicant organization for documentation submission is confirmed once the application is processed by the Magnet Program Office. The date selected is significant and is considered a reservation for your documentation submission. Specific coordination of scheduled conference calls and communication centers around this date. The date is also used by the Magnet Program Office to assure timely communication about the application phase and to prepare the organization for documentation submission, including the selection of the appraisal team. If at a later time the organization decides to change the documentation submission date (e.g., by either requesting an earlier document submission date or requesting an extension), a fee of $7,750.00 will be assessed.
- The new submission date can only be selected from the established submission dates indicated below.
Note: Written documentation is accepted 5 times per year on the first business day of the following months:
- February
- April
- June
- August
- October
- The Change in Submission Date requests must be submitted no later than two months prior to the current scheduled documentation submission date.
- The Change in Submission Date request is one-time only.
For redesignating organizations:
- If requesting to change the submission date to an earlier cycle, the new date for submission must be within six (6) months of the previously scheduled date.
- A request for an extension can be up to six (6) months from the previously scheduled date.
For initial applicants:
- If requesting to change the submission date to an earlier cycle, the new date for submission must be within six (6) months of the previously scheduled date.
- A request for an extension can be up to one year from the previously scheduled date.
